Last night I joined a group of pure-hearted people whom do good deeds to homeless people in KL. We giveaway food, clothes and toiletries to them. The place we went was Pudu. My eyes were wide opened and my heart felt pity on them and at the same time felt thankful to God to have such a blessing life. Many homeless people in there, in Pudu particularly.
We gathered at a friend's house to distribute the goods and divide ourselves into two big groups. We moved in a large group and of course, Erika and I had a good 'taekwando guard' neigh Zaki. haha.
It was my first time so, I didn't do much. Just helped Zaki and Erika to bring the food and observed how strangers become friends and willing to lend a hand without discrimination. This character should be cultivated in a person and thus, people can live in harmony.
Homeless factors :-
1. Poverty
2. Eroding work opportunities
3. Decline in public assistance
4. Housing
5. Lack of affordable health care
6. Domestic violence
7. Mental illness
8. Addiction disorders
So, we should not have a double-standard perspective towards homeless people because we are NOT in their shoes.
Taking pictures after we have finished give away food and clothes to homeless people in Pudu.
